Which term denotes Internal Power Exercise?

• A. Weh Kong
• B. Shim Kong
• C. Nae Kong
• D. Ho Sin Sul

Answer: (C)

Internal Power Exercise is about drawing energy from within the body, using breath and the body's center to deliver force. The term used for this in WTSDA is Nae Kong. It emphasizes powering technique from the danjeon (the center) and coordinated breathing and focus, so the energy moves from the core through the limb rather than being produced by muscular effort alone. This contrasts with training labeled as external power, which relies more on muscle and leverage, or other concepts that relate to mental focus or specific self-defense skills. By practicing Nae Kong, you learn to channel inner energy into techniques with controlled breath and alignment, producing smoother, more powerful impact.
